Governor Rusk, of Wisconsin, is
not very slow in regard to veto
messages himself. He has vetoed a
large number Of bills during the pres
ent session, and in nearly every case
has given good and sufficient reasons
for so doing. The Madison Democrat
pays the governor the following com
pliment for defeating many i'll ad-
vised bills passed by the present legis-
lature: ut is an exceedingly fort
innate thing for Wisconsin that she
has just such a man as Governor Rusk
whose signature is necessary to make
law, when such Legislature is around
The veto of the bill giving the state
lands in OcontO, Forest, Marinette
and Florence counties, to proposed
railway, was like a dozen veto mes
sages that precede it, one for which
the people ought to thank the gov
crnor."

A Romance of Real Life in Cuba" is
the title of book soon to be issued, by
d. Lothrop e Co., of Boston. The
book in which the subject Of slavery
holds the foremost place, was written
by Mrs. Horace Mann, befor Mrs. II.
b. Stowe began to gather mateaial for
her famous work, but was kept back
from publication because the principal
characters and incidents woven into
the story were real and some of the
participants were still living. The close
of the book was written after the death
of the last of these characters, and Mrs.
Mann hoped to publish it in her life
time, but the manuscript had been
mislaid; since her death it has been
found and the book will soon be issued
from the press. This was Mrs. Mann's
only book, and in connection with her
own known ability the prominent place
occupied by her husband, in the history
of education in this country, will lead
the reading public to look for its
appearance with great interest,"

Died, at the Blackney House, on the
morning of the 18th inst, of conges-

Laporte, Indiana; aged Sc years. The
deceased was a travelling salesman
representing the house of Edwin Hunts

sick on the 9th inst, and continually
got worse. Mr.. Fecht, the proprietor,
sent telegram for Mr.. Phillipss wife
She arrived here on the 18th. Four
medical men were called in to see him,
but their services were of no avail;
his hour had come, and he passed
quietly away without struggle on
last Sunday morning. His brother,
Samuel Phillips, was sent for, and ar
rived here on Monday evening. His
remains were removed from here on
Tuesday morning, to Cobb, where
they were put on the cars and taken

accompanied his remains from here
were his wife and brother, Jacob Fecht
and wife, j. E. Farragher, John
Klingler, William Lampe, George Me

Through all his sickness he was quiet

of being perfect gentleman. Mr..
Fecht is worthy of praise for the care
and pains he took to save him and to
make him comfortable. j. VIC.

The Legislature Of 1857.

The Madison Democrat.
A prominent member of the assem-
bly, said on Wednesday on his way to
the train, that he was going home in
disgust with the legislature and in the
firm belief that it has been the weak
est body as a whole that ever met at
the capitol. There were few pretty
good men, especially in the house, but
as whole that member is right 1t has
been a good deal the weakest body of
its kind ever assembled in the state.
1t was not composed of bad men, on
the contrary they substantially all
meant to do the right thing. They,
of course, ran the dead-head pass
business little more open and shame
lessly than any former legislature, but
aside from this they could not be
called corruptionists, as compared with
a good many legislatures of the past.
But in matters where what is called
" good horse sense" was needed-in
practical, common-sense law making
the legislature of 1887 has not had an
inferior in the history of the state.

The name of William f. Villas, post

The name OF William f.. Villas, post
master general, is being very generally
mentioned in connection with the
democratic nomination for vice pres
ident in 1888 The New York Star,
(democratic) says:
"A democratic senator, who has
differed with the president on political
points, but is nevertheless great adj
mirer of Cleveland, predicts that the
next democratic national convention
will give the present administration a
h 'arty Endorsement, and that Mr..
Cleyeland's nomination will be so
strongly insisted upon that his alleged
objection to u second term will be over
come, and that in all probability Gen
eral Villas will receive the nomination
for vice president. The postmaster
general, in his extreme modesty, rid
icules this statement, but his name is
more frequently mentioned in this
section in connection with the second
place on the democratic ticket of 1888
than that of any other gentleman"
The Milwaukee Daily Journal tin
dependent democratic) says:
The Wisconsin friends of the post
master general do not think he is a
candidate, and express the hope that
he could not be induced to accept the
nomination"
The Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin
republican, says:
"PoStmaSter-gener Villas is alleged
to have his eagle eye on the vice
presidency. If the country wanted,
or if it would consent to have another
democratic administration, Wisconsin
would he well pleased to see Col. Villas
90 in"
And kindred expressions to those
quoted above are to be found in many
more of the leading newspapers
throughout the country.
While year or more will elapse be-
fore the national democratic conven-
ton for 1888 will be held. and it is
therefore rather early to tell who will
likely have the second place on the
ticket, the mention of the name of
Col. Villas in connection with that
position cannot be otherwise than graf
flying to his friends; inasmuch as il
is conclusive evidence that the Wis
consin member of the cabinet wears
well in public life. When he was
called to the important and trying
work of managing the post-oilice de
partment, although he had attained
national distinction as public speak
er, and rs a sound democratic states
man he had little or no experienc,
as public officer. That he has great,
improved the department in a strict.
business sense, is attested to by bust
ness men and newspapers of all par
ties; and that he has made himsel
friends among his party associate

A SPECIAL dispatch from Washington
to The Madison Democrat reads rs
follows:
Every day points more strongly to
the denomination of Mr. Cleveland as
the presidential candidate of his party.
The unanimity of expression in this
particular is something surprising.
Men who a year ago were saying saw
age things about Cleveland now say
frankly that he is the best man for
the party's leadership"
Correspondents of many other news
papers tell substantially the same
story, all agreeing that despite his
alleged declarations to the contrary,
President Cleveland will again be re-
quired to enter the field as the dem
ocratic nominee. This information is
not at all surprising; but oil the con
trary is just what might be expected.
1t only shows that the politicians and
the newspaper correspondents at
Washington have awakened to the
realization that great majority of
democrats stand firmly by the present
administration, and are ready to give
it good and sufficient support, all as
sertions of conspiring, wire-pulling
politicians to the contrary notwith-
standing. There has not been time
since Inauguration day, March 4, 1885,
that the party would have failed to
render such support if the opportunity
was afforded; and those who have
failed to realize this fact have simply
not been alive to the real democratic
sentiment. In all probability Mr..
Cleveland will be re-nominated; and
there is little room to doubt that un-
der his leadership the party will prove
irresistible in the contest of 1888.
